Regardless of how you feel about Oprah, her blessing on pretty much any product is an almost guarantee of success. Her "Greatest Things" episodes gives everyone in the audience every item featured on the show, which will do a lot to boost the visibility of the Kindle.
Hey, I do not post much to Engadget and I am not sure how to start a new topic so I will just tack on to the end of this one. I quote another random, annonomous engadget poster, "the future is here!....and it sucks." Thats how I feel about a device like the kindle. I just can't justify paying 359 dollars for a device that I then have to pay 10 dollars each for books when I have a library that is perfectly free right up the block. I'll buy a Kindle as soon as they give me a reasonable all you can eat plan. 9.95, 14.95, hell even 19.95 a month seems reasonable, all they would have to do is let me download a small file that was limited to my Kindle, whats the fear of allowing a subscriber to do that? I don't get it. Same thing goes with XBOX Lives video store. I love having instant access to HD video, but 5.95 to download a movie? Blockbuster mails actual disks to my house for 9.95 a month, and I get another movie when I return it to the store. I usually get 5 or 6 HD movies a month for 9.95, why can't MS give me something similar? Same with Amazon and the Kindle?

So now people are ALSO taking gadget advice from Oprah?
Not so much taking gadget advice as pretending to take her advice and really using her for her discount power :P.
Maybe if they made the kindle less ugly I'd want one.

Oprah is getting cheaper. A few years ago, wasn't she giving a way cars. 50 bucks off....what a pity
